Methods to the Madness.

by Grace Zhao and Alexander Tabor

This podcast will be comparing and contrasting the works of various animation studios to find what does (and doesn’t) work. Each episode's content will be about a specific studio, focusing on examples of successful animation (e.g. Disney’s “Snow White and the Seven Dwarves”) and casually exploring why an one aspect works over another. This is a casual podcast, as such, it will follow a talking point format and be very loose in style and format. However, each episode will focus on three main talking points; what makes an animation work and why, the cultural impact said animation has had, and the impact it has had on the animation industry as a whole.
